associate CISSP with no experience SCREAMS paper warrior (or brain dumper). headache who thinks he knows more than everyone else and will not be satisfied with the pay or work he is assigned. will move on in 6 months to a year. there are very few "entry level" jobs where the CISSP is relevant. actually, there are none unless you count the few and far between true entry level SOC Analyst 1 jobs. for every other entry position, a CCNA or MCSA are far more relevant to the work you'll be doing.

agree with all this.

i've been interviewing candidates for the last several weeks and every one of them had their CISSP. Most of them couldn't do the work that certification implies they should be able to do.

I got mine after i'd already been in infosec for several years.
